//------------------------------// // His Lucky night and His Bad Day // Story: Assassin's Tears // by MisterGTFO //------------------------------// Chapter Two: His Lucky night and His Bad Day Silent Wind was awaken by a bright light and saw that Spike was looking at him. He was startled by his Glare and began to question him. "Gah! Wh- What do you want, Spike?!" Spike was nervous, talking to Silent Wind after being told why he woke him up. "Oh.. um, Twilight just told me to check on you to see if you were ok.. sorry for waking you up." Spike explained. "Oh really? how.. nice." Silent Wind was confused why Twilight was so... worrying. "Strange, huh? Twilight usually doesen't make me do that kind of stuff.. but anyways, yeah that's all I've gotta say to you. I gotta go.. do my chores." Spike said. Silent Wind began to see a frown across Spike's face. He became a bit concered of Spike and spoke to him. "Spike, what's wrong?" Silent Wind said. "What're you talking about, I'm fine." Spike tried to lie. Silent Wind could see Spike's lie very easily. He was trained to see lies afterall. "Spike, I can see somethings bothering you. What's wrong? Tell me." Spike gave a big sigh and told Silent Wind his little problem. "Everyday, I have to do chores for Twilight since I'm her assistant. The thing is, I have an arranged lunch with Rarity.. but I Twilight told me to stay here and finish my chores, but there's just so much chores that I'll have to cancel the lunch with Rarity.." Spike explained. "Wait, do you like Rarity. Spike?" Silent Wind said. "It's not really a secret anymore, so yeah I do." Spike said. Silent Wind smiled and decided to help Spike with his chores. So he spoke to Spike if he could help him, if he wanted that is. "Spike, what if I help you with your chores too? that way, you won't be late." Silent Wind obliged. "Wait, really? you'll do that for me?" Spike was suprised. "Well it's a bit rude to keep a Mare waiting. And I guess you can say I'm a soft spot for helping getting ponies or whoever together.." Silent Wind admitted. "Okay then!! If we can finish this before 12PM, I'll be on time!" Spike began to work. Silent Wind saw that it was 10AM, he quickly got to work with Spike. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At Canterlot apartments, The apartment helpers were checking all emptied rooms. Two stallions were checking Silent Wind's room. "Hey man, I wonder why he have to check every damn corner of every room?" The Stallion said. "It's the freaking policy, man." The other stallion was checking the desk until an amulet was found in one of the desk cabinets. "Holy crap... this is..!" He reconized the Amulet as a Silentblade amulet given to Assassin's of the Silentblade guild, a Very Unique type of amulet. "Oh celestia, that's those Assassin amulets! go give that to the Captain of the Royal guard, dude!" The stallion said. The other stallion began to run to the Canterlot Kingdom. Reporting to the Canterlot Captain of the Royal Guard, Shining Armor. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After an hour of doing chores, both Spike and Silent Wind were finally done with the chores. "Everything... is perfect!" Spike was very tired. "Yeah huh.. you owe me one..!" Silent Wind was a bit exausted. "I sure do.. anyways.. this Dragon here, has lunch time with a Mare. And thanks Silent Wind, I owe ya a breakfast tommorow." Spike then made his way to the door and went to see Rarity. "That Dragon sure is a Gentlecolt to a certain Mare." Silent Wind smiled and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Once Silent Wind got out of the shower, he wore his things again. And saw that Twilight was home. "Oh Twilight, hey I didn't know you were home.." "Hey Silent Wind, I bumped into Spike. He told me how you helped him with his chores, I also want to thank you for helping him. I always think that I give him too much chores since he's just a Baby Dragon.." Twilight gave Silent Wind a gentle hug. "Uh yeah.. don't mention it. I'll help him anytime. Which reminds me.. I think I'm gonna go out for a bit." Silent Wind began to get a bit red. "I was wondering.. if I could show you to my friends." Twilight asked. "Oh.. ok. Wanna go now?" Silent Wind said. "Oh sure just let me do something.." After Twilight was done doing a few things, They both went to Sugarcube Corner where her friends usually met at. They both walked together and went into Sugarcube Corner. When they both got inside, they saw that four Mares were talking to eachother. Those four Mares were Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Applejack. "Boy Howdy, you two together already?!" Applejack said. Both Twilight and Silent Wind looked at eachother, red-cheeked and blushing. It was very silent until both Twilight and Silent Wind spoke at Applejack. "What? No!" Twilight and Silent Wind said in unison. Everypony laughed and Twilight and Silent Wind moved foward and sat with the rest of the group. After a few minutes, Silent Wind said he had to use the bathroom, Twilight began to talk to her friends about Silent Wind. "So, how does everypony liking Silent Wind?" Twilight asked. "He's so fun to be by!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "Well, he's cool enough for me." Rainbow Dash said. "When ah first met 'im, he was a kind of Stallion ah see in, but don't ya'll take that th' wrong way now!" Applejack shouted. "He was so kind to my animals.. did you know his favorite animals are birds..?" Fluttershy whispered. "Hey that reminds me, where's Rarity?" Rainbow Dash wondered. "Oh she's with Spike, doing a few things with him." Twilight explained. Unfortunately, Twilight and the other's did not know that Silent Wind did not really go to the bathroom, he was "spying" on Twilight to see if she would immediately talk about him. He then suprised Twilight and her friends. "Gotcha!" Silent Wind yelled. Twilight made a small eep. And saw that Silent Wind was behind her. "Hey! that's rude to do that!" Twilight hissed. "And it's rude to talk about other ponies, isn't it?" Silent Wind said. "Well.. I-I guess so.. sorry about that." Twilight apologized. After another several minutes of talking with the whole group, Silent Wind saw that the four of them were about to go. "Oops, Ah gotta go everypony, It's applebuckin' season and Granny Smith is makin me work overtime." Applejack then went to the door and left. "I have to make cupcakes for costumers! bye bye!" Pinkie Pie hoped to the kitchen and began to prepare to make cupackes. "Oh my goodness, it seems that it's almost feeding time for my animals. Goodbye everyone..!" Fluttershy left also. "Oh great, It's Weather patrol for me now... well, I gotta go!" Rainbow Dash flew and found her way out at an open window. When everypony was gone, Silent Wind began to talk to Twilight, Twilight tried to blurt something out but was cut short by Silent Wind. "You know Twilight, I haven't ever had a Pony ever talk about me this much. As much as I'm flattered, I have to say why are you talking about me so much? is there something wrong?" Silent Wind questioned. Twilight began to blush a little and stepped away from Silent Wind. "Well.. I'm- just being kind.. here in Ponyville, Ponies help a another Pony so that everypony knows everypony.." Twilight stuttered. "Twilight.." Silent Wind stepped closer. Twilight just blushed even more. "Y-yes?" Twilight questioned. "Do you like-" Silent Wind was cut short by a scream in direction from the town. It was Fluttershy's scream. "What was that?!" Silent Wind wondered. "That was Fluttershy!" Twilight soon heard more screams. "Oh dear Celestia, we have to see what's wrong!" Twilight ran outside and Silent Wind came along with her. Once they went outside, they saw that a Dragon was terrorizing the forests. Silent Wind was suprised when he saw that Dragons were attacking, they are usually quiet and peaceful. But they never are aggressive. He quickly talked to Twilight. "Twilight! you stay here and help other Ponies! I have to stop that Dragon!" Silent Wind explained. "How are you going to stop a Dragon that big!?" Twilight asked. "Just listen alright? I got this Dragon!" Silent Wind flew up to the Dragon as soon it shortly landed on the mountains. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once he encountered the Dragon, It fiercely roared at him. Silent Wind began to feel adrenaline, something he hasn't felt and he began to feel cocky. "Heh, this dragon is pretty big. If it was my pet, it'd be the best mutt ever!" Silent Wind cockily said The Dragon began to roar. It then shot a gigantic Fireball at Silent Wind but Silent Wind just flew up and easily evaded it. Then, Silent Wind drew his blades. "You're Dead." Silent Wind then flew at the dragon. The Dragon flew up, encountering Silent Wind. The Dragon swung it's tail at Silent Wind, but he dodged it and made a slash at it's left wing, causing the Dragon to roar in pain. But when Silent Wind looked back, it strangely regenerated, very fast. "What the- Dragon's don't have that..!" Silent Wind's focus was off and he was hit by a swinging tail and got smashed to the mountain ground. "Damn it! oww..!" Silent Wind said. He saw that a claw was coming at him, he quickly got up and became confused how it healed from it's wound. Then he saw it. A red mark on it's forehead: A Mind-controlling seal. Luckily, Silent Wind kept a Mind-reversing note that destroys the mark within his bracers, given to Silentblades. "Well, let's do this.. I could just kill it.. no, that'd be too violent." Silent Wind thought. The Dragon soon used its fire breath, Silent Wind quickly dodged it and hanged onto the Dragon. The Dragon tried to shake him off but to no avail, it could not. Silent Wind them flew up, hitting the dragon with his hoofleg. Making a mark on it's nose which caused the dragon to become dazed. He then flew at it's head landing on it and quickly putted the note on it's forehead, causing it's forehead to fizzle. But with the dragon's last mind-controlling impulse, It gave Silent Wind a hand smack, causing him to get smashed on the ground, making a mark on the ground. Silent Wind, who was pratically knocked the hay out. Looked at the Dragon, seeing that it was coming back to normal. "What is a pegasi like you doing here?! and why are you smashed on the ground!?" the Dragon shouted. "Oh really? y'didn't know you were terrorizing the whole Everfree forest?!" Silent Wind yelled. "No! you Pegasi! all I remember is being met by an Unicorn who was in robes!" The dragon explained. When Silent Wind heard of a Unicorn in robes, he feared the worst. "Wait? WHAT?! what were the colors of the robes? Tell me!" Silent Wind yelled. "Very impatient.. but If my mind remembers, the robes were Black and white..!" The dragon said. Silent Wind got even more scared because what he knew that the only ones who wear black and white in the Silentblades, are Elite Assassin Advisors who assign Assassination jobs to inferior Assassins. There were only very few also since barely anyone got into and Silent Wind only was a Guardian for the Leader. "Now I must go now, let us not see eachother ever again!" The Dragon flew away. Silent Wind just standed there, motionless. Until he broke from his fear and went back to Ponyville. "Why the hay are the Silentblades doing around here?! Why?" Silent Wind wondered while moving toward town. There, he saw that many Ponies were there. Cheering for him. Silent Wind had a dumbfounded face when he saw that everypony in town was cheering for them even the Mane six were cheering for him too. The Mayor came up to him, congratulating him for protecting the forests. Silent Wind simply said "Your welcome". "Well this is quite a big... group cheering for me..." Silent Wind was speechless. "Of course! you've saved not only Ponyville but all of the Everfree Forest!!" The Mayor exclaimed. "Thank you.. well I'm very used to being cheer by many ponies.." Silent Wind chuckled. "Oh of course, everypony give our dear friend room!" The mayor shouted. Almost everyone moved a few steps back. Silent Wind finally flew over them. "I'm a bit sorry everyone! I'm not used to being so famous y'know!" Silent Wind laughed, and the crowd laughed back. Then Silent Wind flew back to Twilight's home. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When he got back to Twilight's. He saw that Spike was home. He seemed that he was done by 4PM. "Oh hey Spike, you're home." Silent Wind said. "You bet!" Spike seemed very happy. "Why are you so happy, Spike?" Silent Wind questioned. "I got a kiss from Rarity!" Spike pointed at his lips. "No way! way to go, Spike!" Silent Wind couldn't help my smile. "Yeah, if you didn't help me I could have never gotten to Rarity!" Spike gave Silent Wind a little hand-hoof shake. "Now, I'm a bit tired... I gotta go to sleep." Spike began to go upstairs. "Okay then.. I'll just go do whatever.." Silent Wind went to the balcony. Silent Wind sat down on the floor at the balcony and just looked at the setting sun. And began to think the Silentblades, he remembered how he liked to kill but it just felt wrong against Pony nature. Even though he left the Silentblades, he doesen't know why he left. It's a wonder that has made him question himself for a few years. He then heard a creak at the door. He quickly went downstairs to see who it was. It was Twilight and her friends. They all looked a bit happy, which scared him a bit. "Aw! Come 'ere!" Pinkie Pie went in first to hug Silent Wind. Then Applejack came in. Then Rarity came in too, so did Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and most of all, Twilight joined too. "I appreciate and flattered that you've all given me a group hug but.. I'm like suffocating." Silent Wind muffled. They all released eachother and all of them giggled a little bit after staying all together inside Twilight's home, they all left except for Rarity who gave Spike a kiss on the cheek and then left. All that were left were Twilight and Silent Wind and of course, Spike but he was asleep. Silent Wind was about to go to sleep at night until he saw that Twilight wasn't home. He began to look around the house until he saw a note, on the dinner table. I went to the Ponyville bridge, I'd like to meet you there. Just you and me. I hope you get this note, I'll be waiting. Your friend, Twilight Sparkle. Silent Wind was a bit confused why Twilight wanted to meet him but he shrugged it off and moved his flank to the bridge. There, he saw that Twilight was waiting patiently for him. He saw Twilight and Twilight saw Silent Wind too. "Oh, you came!" Twilight said. "Of course I did, what were you doing?" Silent Wind questioned. "Oh I was just looking at the river. It seems really beautiful." Twilight said. "You know.. Twilight.." Silent Wind began. "Hm? what is it?" Twilight said. Silent Wind began to blush a little. "I just wanted to say thank you alot for showing me Ponyville and taking me in I guess, I've honestly never met anyone kind as you I guess. Well yeah, Fluttershy is really kind but she's real quiet. What I'm just saying is, If you ever need anything, just talk to me." Silent Wind then did something he's never done before, he hugged Twilight. When he broke the hug, Twilight was speechless and she her face was apple red. She began to smile. "You don't have to thank me, afterall it's just a thing that fri-" Silent Wind was interrupted when Twilight smashed her lips into Silent Wind's. Silent Wind wasn't even thinking of anything. He was extremely suprised thinking that this wonderful Mare likes him. Once Twilight broke the kiss, Silent Wind had a very dumb face which made Twilight giggle. "I.. wanted to do that for a while now... sorry if you didn't expect that." Twilight was looking away from Silent Wind. When she looked back she saw that Silent Wind was smiling. That's when Silent Wind decided to push his lips against Twilight's. The second Kiss made it better for Twilight. After a minute of just standing there. They both talked. "Well, now I know why you kept talking about me. You must've really wanted me to take notice of you, no?" Silent Wind said. Twilight nodded. "It's just that I wasn't seeing you much so I was a bit lonely afterall like Pinkie Pie said it, you are fun to be with." Twilight smiled. Silent Wind began to chuckle. "You're a bit right on that. Anyways I'm going back, it's getting dark out. Are you comin?" Silent Wind asked. "Yes, I'm coming along." Twilight followed Silent Wind. She ran up to him and layed her head on his neck. And both went home. Sadly, those two did not know.. that Twilight's friends were spying on them. "Yee-haw! Ah knew those two would be great t'gether!" Applejack exclaimed. "Yeah, yeah. Quiet, Applesmack you'll wake up the whole town." Rainbow Dash said. "Oh goodness, that was so beautiful..." Fluttershy whispered. "We should throw them a party tommorow!" Pinkie Pie suggested. "Oh my, I hope that is wise, Pinkie Pie. But still, did you see those two..?! they're both perfect as diamonds for eachother..!" Rarity exclaimed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back at the Canterlot Apartments, Shining Armor and several Royal Guards were questioning the owner of the Apartments while checking the room that Silent Wind was in. "Sir, do you know who's name the stallion who lived here. It's essential to know." Shining Armor said. "Hmm.. well he did sign his name in.. I think it was err.. Silent Wind?" The owner said. "Thank you, Sir." Shining Armor moved foward at his men to discuss where Silent Wind could've went. "Men, if I'm correct, this Silentblade Assassin is named Silent Wind. It is certain that he has left Canterlot to find another hideout. It is possible he could be in Fillydelphia, Baltimare, Trottingham or even Ponyville." Shining Armor discussed. "Captain, what do we do?" One of the Royal guards questioned. "Dispatch battalions at every major city. It will give us a better chance of finding the Assassin." Shining Armor ordered. "Yes, sir! but Captain, what will you do?" Another Royal guard questioned. "I will go to Ponyville, somepony there is important to me and I must check there just in case." Shining Armor said. "We will be moving out to report to four major cities to any battalion we can get to!" All of the Royal guards left the apartment and Shining Armor was very worried. "If that Assassin is in Ponyville, Twily and her friends are in deep danger. If he is in Ponyville, I'll make sure I get there in time before he does any harm..to anypony and most importantly, Twily.."
